ARRGGHHH still not done!!!
Ok starting to panic as assignment is due in on Friday and its still not done its so hard this term and I need people to sign stuff and time is running out!!!! I don't seem to have enough hours in the day to get everything done. I think I will take a year out next year as my course is the next level up and I'm gonna have 3 kids!!! Its all the stupid paperwork and evidence you have to sumbit!! and for each piece of evidence you submit you have to have an evidence sheet and which has to be signed.
Then if you do all the work get all the evidence in but don't include certain things like a check list or this form called the ECA check list then you fail!!!!! its like 12 sheets for your assignment and you need two copies and then 12 set of evidence sheets times two and then your evidence and the checklist, ET3 forms and a confirmer form its a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When did caring for kids and teaching them become all about the paperwork????!!! is this really the job I want???
Its not about teaching kids and being their role model anymore its about paperwork, child protection, paperwork, dealing with problem children who don't repect you, paperwork, staying til all hours preparing work for the next day that kids wont do cause they wanna play outside, paperwork and finally paperwork! What happened to that job I trained to do when I did my NNEB where kids liked their teachers were respectful and enjoyed school, parents were polite and helpful????
Maybe I should stay at home and teach my children from home and how to be polite and respectful. Why am I studying this course?? Surely I am too old for studying now?? I will be 30 in like a year and a half maybe its time I stopped wanting to be a teacher and concentrated on my kids they are growing up so quick after all! Or maybe I don't think I can cut it and thats why I am making excuses! I guess only time will tell!

My big growed up girl!!!!!
Faith started nursery this week I can't believe my first born baby girl is all grown up! She loves it so much she didn't even look twice when we left!
She is going to one of the best schools in the town and you can see why it is so good I love it I put Noah's name down and he may not get in on time as there is a massive waiting list (shows its a good school!!)
I can't get over how quick the time has gone one minute a baby next a smile, her first tooth, sit up on her own, crawling, walking, running, jumping and then before I knew it school! My baby all growed up brings tears to my eyes!!!
I love ya Faith!
Found this in a book!!!
Dedicated to my son Noah!
Won't go in the car
Won't stand over there
Won't play nicely with my sister
Won't not pull her hair
Won't stop picking nose
Won't stop throwing food
Won't wait just a little minute
Won't be .....
"Don't be rude!"
Wanna huge ice cream
Wanna drop it - splat!
Wanna dummy
Wanna bottle
Wanna reck the flat
Wanna get my own way
Want that toy- it's mine!
Wannit now, this very minute!
Or I'm gonna whine
Gonna cut up rough
Gonna start to scream
Gonna throw the BIGGEST TANTRUM
That you've ever seen
Gonna go for broke
Gonna start to choke
Gonna find the biggest dog
And give its eyes a poke!
Can't you lay off Mum?
Can't you try to see
That I won't be such a monster
When I get to......
THREE?

Got this in an emal thought it was true and funny!
When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of
women, so you smile politely and take your place.
Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, however, because the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants!
The dispenser for the modern "seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom, no
doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly, drape it around your neck because Mom
would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!
Finally, you yank down your pants, and assume " The Stance." In this
position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake.
You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the
seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold The Stance."
To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you
discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear
your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you
would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake more.
You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the
one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck). That
will have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It's still
smaller than the palm of your hand.
Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work. The door
hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest,
and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet.
"Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious,
tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor. Now you lose your footing
altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT.
It is wet, of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too
late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life
form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper, not
that there was any.
You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew. You're
certain that her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because,
Frankly, dear, you just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get.
By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused
that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the
inside of the bowl. Of course, that sprays a fine mist of water on your
butt, which then runs down your legs and into your shoes.
The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto
the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in, too.
At this point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet
toilet seat.
You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you find in your
pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.
You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors,
so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the
line of women still waiting.
You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very
end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe.
(Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe,
plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need
this."
As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and
left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why
is your purse hanging around your neck?"
This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restroom
(rest??? you've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what
really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked
questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs.
It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you
Kleenex under the door!
Don't forget: A Friend Is Like A Good Bra... Hard to Find, Comfortable, Always Lifts You
Up, Never Lets You Down or Leaves You Hanging, And Is Always Close To Your
Heart!!!
P.s I dont know why its downloaded in a funny format but I cant be bothered t change it!!!

Scan on Monday EEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hopefully I will be able to post a picture on Monday of Holden number three!! I have a scan at last to find out my dates.
For the last two days I have been able to eat and have been enjoying my food not throwing it back up!
This may all change! onem min I am fine but the next you know... It makes working really fun! You suddenly see Lorna leave her desk and not come back for a while... in fact we are so busy at the moment they proablby don't even notice I've left my desk, or that I've come back a little lighter.
We now need to find someone to convert our loft so if their is any one out there reading who can do this let me know!
We have room for another one but we need space for all the damm toys... I may have brought too many at christmas .... but in my defense I thought me and Paula would be in business now and that we could have transfered them all by now.. but the place we wanted has just been sold!!! Not impressed!!
I did whilst looking for a business property find a nice 5 bedroom house in Hart Village may have to look into upping our mortgage if we can't extend the loft...hmmmm...... not sure I wanna live in Hart thought has too many memories! Although I would be near my good friend Janet!
Anyway must get on with some work now

Four years!!
Yesterday was our fourth wedding anniversary. It somehow seems like we have been togeter longer, but some how like wow 4 years! So much has happened in four years! Four babies, seven deaths, house, mortgage, new experiences like putting up the monster of all tents!, camping as a famiy for the first time, and on wednesday I am going to Spain free with work can't wait 4 whole days away and lots of sleep!!! (it just me no kids!) So it'll be a big step for me first time away without me kids (as I write this Noah is hugging my arm!) Sob Sob.....
It is going to werid not haing them and waking up next to Jo Jo! Instead of getting a wake up cal at 5am from Noah or finding a little girl has snuck in, in the middle of the night and taken al of the middle of the bed up! (Jo and I are sharing, Paula is with the boss she will have to behave!).
I found out today I already have a Certifcate from my Open University course which is cool! and that I only have two years of my degree left I thought it was five!!!!!
We went out last night and when we came home I found that Claire, who was babysitting had done all my ironing!!! I was well chuffed, now I'm working I don't get time to do much around the house, Stu and I both chip in but it still mounts up. I even have the kids helping, never to young to tidy toys away!
Well thats enough boring stuff when I finally get round to putting my holiday photo's on the computer I will add some to this post! Camping was so much fun I forgotten how good it was! These are quiet random thoughts!
Chill out Noah
The most beauitful little girl in the world

Head still may explode!
My head is in no better state than my last writing!
but I have found this (nicked it off Paula!) to help me along!
My bestest friend Paula was recently a patient of the great University Hospital of Hartlepool aka the dump!
She was nearly dead!!!!!
She had no immune system, due to the drugs she takes for her arthritis, so she was quite ill although if you ask her she'll say "I'm fine".
I am glad she is out of hospital now! Even though she is complaining that my gifts weren't as good as Charlie's! and that she didn't even love me enough to keep my get well card!!! She's not getting that Puppy now!!!!!
Anyway enough boringness I am nearly at my 100 post which means I have way too much free time (yeah Right) or that I talk so much rubbish!!! (which is more likely!)

Head may explode at any moment!
Ever get the feeling that your head may explode at any moment? you know the one where you have 50 million things to do and you forget your own name, let alone remembering to pick your kids up from the child minder, rememeber to post your speeding fine etc
I finished my uni assignment at like 11:30 the day before it was due in and havent done my DHC homework for like a month!
I need a new head!
a new body!
and a new stress free life!
anyone now where they are let me and possibly Paula know where they are!!!!!!!!

Saw this and thought of you.....
You might be best friends one year, Pretty good friends the next year, Don't talk that often the next year, And don't want to talk at all the year after that. So, I just wanted to say, You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life, I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, No matter how often you talk , Or how close you are, And send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, And tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend, Someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, Just remember this text and take comfort in knowing Somebody out there cares about you....
